Band, Debate, Drama, Student Council — They've got forms too!
As most have notice The West Union Loop project is still in process. Contractors me with the district to let us know how the project is progressing. We expect the afternoon traffic congestion to be more of an issue than the morning. The peak hours of traffic given to the contractors was 7am -7:30 am and 2pm -2:30pm. We are working together to limit disruptions at those times. The multi-phase project is on course to complete this foundational phase (and potentially most disruptive to traffic patterns) by the first couple of weeks of October. After that the entire project of running lines and connecting to be complete before the first of the 2026 new year.
Please plan accordingly for those that transport students and understanding of bus times.

Every year we have a competition to see which building has 100% of their student final forms completed first. Last year North Adams won. Who will it be for the 2025-2026 school year. Final Forms has been open for a week. Complete as soon as you can to ensure your building is the first to cross the 100% finish line. Ready, Set, GO!

Ohio’s Cell Phones in Schools
To support school environments in which students can fully engage with their classmates, their teachers, and instruction, the Board of Education of Adams County Ohio Valley Local Schools (ACOVSD) has determined the use of cell phones by students during school hours should be limited. The objective of this policy is to strengthen ACOVSD’s focus on learning, in alignment with our mission to ignite students’ passion for learning, cultivate a strong foundation of knowledge, and foster a sense of community within our schools.
II. Applicability
This policy applies to the use of cell phones by students while on school property during school instructional hours, as defined by the tardy bell and the dismissal bell.
III. Use of cell phones
Students are prohibited from using cell phones after the morning tardy bell and before the dismissal bell.
IV. Exception
Nothing in this policy prohibits a student from using a cell phone for a purpose documented in the student’s individualized education program developed under Chapter 3323 of the Ohio Revised Code or a plan developed under section 504 of the "Rehabilitation Act of 1973," 29 U.S.C. 794. A student may use a cell phone to monitor or address a documented health concern. Students will be given directives from administration on use during an emergency situation that warrants said use.
V. Cell phone storage
Students shall keep their cell phones in a secure place, such as the student’s locker, a closed
backpack, or a storage device provided by the district, at all times when cell phone use is prohibited.

A Special Update in response to recent legislation H.B. 96 regarding limitations on student cell phone usage during the instructional day. To meet the intent of the law, ACOVSD will limit cell phone use (outside of an IEP/504). There will be a no cell phone policy during instruction time, identified by the morning tardy bell until the dismissal bell rings at the end of the day. This includes lunch and transition times. The use of cell phones during an emergency will be outlined in our buildings and district emergency safety plans. Cell phones may be locked in a locker, put away, or by securing them in a device provided by the district.
Thank you for your support as we adjust to this new law of no cell phones during the instructional day.
Please remember, if you do not agree with the law please let your representatives know. The district did not enact the law however, we will follow the law.
